During his 77-minute, free-wheeling news conference on Thursday, President Trump said something interesting on the subject of immigration enforcement that easily got lost in the outrage over the obsession about “fake news.” Perhaps the immigration hardliner is starting to become more pragmatic, at least on immigration.

Asked by reporters about what he plans to do with his predecessor’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, Trump gave an entirely conflicted response. In effect, he hasn’t made a decision about the policy one way or the other because it’s such a consequential one to make.
